2008 Hyundai Santa Fe Professional Reviews:
edmunds has reviewed the 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe and given out”Pros: Well-designed cabin, impressive standard safety features and crash test scores, competitive price, lengthy warranty, optional third-row seat. Cons: Excessively firm ride on SE and Limited models, lackluster automatic transmission, disappointing driving dynamics.”
CNET has reviewed the 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe and given out”The 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited makes a valiant effort at incorporating tech but falls short because of poor integration. In everything but fuel economy, it is a practical vehicle.”
Auto123 has reviewed the 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe and given out”The 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe is a nice-looking vehicle that’s relatively competent in every respect despite its limited off-road capability. It never really felt overchallenged in my unrelenting quest to explore the city. I liked its versatility and great functionality. If blistering performance is not among your top priorities but interior room is, the Santa Fe is a logical choice. In reality, this vehicle is accommodating enough for a small family striving to live the simple life.”

Pros: Modern Looks, Urban SUV, Great Sounding Stero System, Quiet Ride, Lots of standard features
Cons: Average Fuel Economy, Resale value low but improving
Just like the next guy, I have a very strong stereotype of the Hyundai brand, but with this new car purchase I am very pleasantly surprised.
The drive is comparable to some of the more expensive SUV and the standard features are a lot for its price range. Build quality is good and warranty is there to take care of unfortunate circumstances.
I see this SUV as a family moving vehicle with a comfortable ride. It may lack the performance of say an Acura RDX, but it has a lot of its features.
THe other thing is resale value. Its not great for this vehicle but it is doing better these days since its introduction in 2007. If you decide to keep this vehicle long term, then that shouldn’t impact you at all.
Spekaing of impacts, with its 5-star safety rating, you can have some confidence that all the people in your vehicle are safe. =)
Overall, excellent vehicle for its price.

Pros: sporty design, excellent ride and luxury well finished interior, quite and smooth on roads
Cons: no cons found so far. work on milieage but no complaints on huge vehicle with 19 - 22 milleage
I am riding newly designed 2007 Hyundai Santa fe for past one and half year. I love this hot rod. sporty riding, quite interior and excellent performance… all these for reasonable price. It is choice for people looking for the best SUV with luxury features in standard. it has huge cargo space and powerfull engine make it a perfect deal for shopers. My friends bought it after driving my vehicle. I am pretty sure Hyundai santa fe is going to be in top picklist for comming years also. Consumer reports have ranked it number one in midsize SUV’s. surely hyundai beats other luxury brand vehicles in no time. only con about this vehicle most of the people point out is mileage, but I would say when compared with size and performance with mileage santa fe is doing better then Acura and Lexus. no complaints so far, I would recomend people who are looking for SUV should think of Santa fe. it is really unique vehicle when compared to mundane rav4 and honda designs.
